Beautiful day in Abel Tasman National Park - A walk, hike and sail along the coast in Abel Tasman National Park. A true natural treasure for international visitors too. Allow a full day for the tour including to and from Nelson.

Great tour. Our first using Viator - Excellent taxi boat ride to Abel Tasman Anchorage bay followed by a nice trail hike and a 3 hours sailing on a lovely catamaran with a charming pilot and his partner. We truly enjoyed the tour.

Perfect excursion to see some of Abel Tasman NP. - A perfectly organized excursion to get a sense of the beauty of the Abel Tasman NP. The walk to Pitt Head Outlook was quite nice and not difficult. The picnic we ordered was nice. The explanation of the skippers was interesting.

Great place - We loved Park N Cruise!!! Very organized and friendly. Nothing was difficult since their system seemed flawless to us. They were waiting for us when we departed the ship. That's a first for us. Very nice people. Secure parking.

Great way to see Abel Tasman's coast - 3 hour cruise/sail on a catamaran along the beautiful coast of the Abel Tasman National Park. The captain and first mate did a great job and found us some wind to sail in despite being in the lee of the land which blocked most of the wind.

Nice trip - Well organized. There was no wind so the sailing was slow. With that would’ve been nice to hike more. Also, the boat was crowded as I was expected 20 people closer to 30.

A great experience but better communication is needed - A great sailing experience but the lack of organisation and poor communication almost spoilt it. We booked our ticket, down loaded it and read the information, arriving half an hour before departure because we were not told exactly where to go or at what time. On arrival, there was no sign of a boat and no one manning the Abel Tasman Sailing Adventures office. We thought we’d missed our boat, and lost our money, by not arriving early enough. After ten minutes the office opened. Initially, no record of our booking could be found and our ticket was apparently not valid for the first part of the experience: the drop off at Anchorage Bay. Thankfully, the person in the office was willing to go the extra mile for us: she tracked down our booking, obtained an additional ticket for the water taxi, and gave us very specific instructions on where to go and how to ensure we were picked up later by the catamaran team. The experience itself went without further problems and we had a fantastic time. Advice: book directly with Abel Tasman Sailing Adventures.

Transportation not included. - If you come in on a cruise, the activity is 60 minute drive from the port and the transport is not included. There is no public transportation to the area, so you need to preplan your transportation! Once we got there, the water tour and activities were great.

No car parking at Christmas - Make sure you arrive very early or you won’t get a car park. We arrived 45 mins prior but could not get a car park anywhere. The provider told us where the car park we were meant to use was when we arrived and checked in, but car park was jammed up and full. My husband was very angry, would have been nice to be pre warned and given some sort of guidance by the provider the day before. Didn’t end up going on the cruise
